Diseases caused by disorders of metabolism are diverse. This post-graduate cycle aims to enable graduates with diverse and current tools in the field of in vitro, cellular and animal models as well as diagnostic technologies of clinical pathology and immunohistochemistry for the study of diseases in general, but of metabolism in particular.
This Postgraduate Program aims to enable graduates to:
- Intervene in several health sectors in the area of ??diagnosis and therapy associated with clinical and metabolic biochemistry;
- Know and know how to use experimental models (in vitro, cell phones and animals) for the development of therapeutic strategies and assessment of metabolic disorders;
- Recognize the importance of nutrition and intervene in the context of dietetics in diseases of metabolism.
